“The internship program at STAR is structured so you get to experience a little bit of everything, including trips to other cooperatives, days out in the field, and sitting in on engineering meetings. This variety has led to learning more about being an actual electrical engineer in a few summers as an intern at STAR, than my classes at school. Another benefit of working at STAR is that everyone is genuinely happy that you’re there and are always willing to answer questions. STAR is full of intelligent, kind, exceptional people who want to teach you how to be successful in a future power systems career.”
